Atlanta Constitution, 26 Feb. 1893
Death of Major Henry Holliday.
A Veteran of Three Wars Passes to His Final Rest in Valdosta.

Major Henry B. Holliday who has lived in Valdosta for years, is dead.
Major Holliday was a brother of Dr. John S. Holliday, county clerk of Fulton, 
and the uncle of Mr. James R. Holliday, of this city.
The family was raised in Fayette county, this state, and there Henry Holliday 
spent all of his younger life.  He served in the Seminole war, and was an 
officer in the American army of invasion of Mexico, in 1847.  He won great 
praise for his gallantry in that war.  Returning home he lived in Fayette 
county, where he married and raised his family.
When the late war broke out it found Major Holliday, as ever, ready to answer 
the call to duty.  The close of the war found all his affairs in a muddled 
condition.  He removed his family to Lowndes county, and there began the battle 
of life.  He amassed a competency, and finally died at the age of seventy-four.
He was a man of many noble traits of character, and made friends wherever he 
went. No man was readier to respond to the call for help.  His memory will be 
cherished by many to whom he has been a friend in need.
